MobiPerf Overview

Joint work by Google/M‐Labs, Dave Choffnes (UW), and Michigan. MobiPerf is a measurement platform for mobile networks, useful to mobile users and researchers

Mobile Users Run Tests Send Measurement Data Researchers Return Intuitive Results

SLIDE 3

Motivation

For mobile users:

Have senses of real‐time network conditions of the cellular networks
Compare with previous measurement results
Compare measurement results between different carriers/regions
Diagnose network applications

SLIDE 4

Motivation (Cont.)

For researchers:

Measurement results dataset is valuable for researchers working on mobile networks
Open source software (https://github.com/Mobiperf/MobiPerf)
Easily plug‐in your customized measurement task
Allow periodic scheduling measurement tasks
